Websites like "emkei.cz" allows to send email with any sender to any receiver.

You cannot identify it as fake at first also provider like gmail doesn't mark it as spam.

What if there's a serious threat in the email?
What are the ways to trace down the sender?

Look into the header part of the email, it should give you the source of the email.

Looking at the header I can identify it as a fake email received from emkei.cz , but what are the ways to identify the original sender

There is now way -- and that is the idea behind, I guess? Only the guys
maintaining emkei.cz could check their server logs for IP of the sender.
But the sender also can use proxies and tor etc.

Warmly,
